Hull, East Yotkshire often filled in on Ancestry as being in Massachusetts. Very confusing when trees on Ancestry constantly list my Hull relies as born in Hull, Massachusetts  ::)

Blame those unimaginative 15th century English settlers who named everything after some place in England. It was only later that the colonists began to appreciate and use the beautiful names the Native Americans had given to the landscape.  Right next door to Hull, MA is Cohasset and Scituate and Wompatuck.
